Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for supporting and dispensing a nested stack of containers. First and second pairs of support plates are spaced apart and movable between supporting and released positions. The first pair of plates support the container stack by engaging an out-turned lip of the lowermost container. Release of the first pair of plates incrementally advances the container stack to engage the second pair of plates. The second pair of plates are released to free the lowermost container after the first pair of plates are returned to the supporting position. A pair of thrusting fingers exert a downward force on the released container to deliver it to an awaiting transport receptacle at the desired moment.
